Obviously we need to align the Sabbatical year and the Jubilee years. The year of the destruction of the Temple was a Sabbatical year. That is a big deal. Since the Dedication of the Temple was a Jubilee year then the sabbatical years must align to the year of the destruction. Since the destruction of the Temple we can see an alignment. 950 BC - 530 BC = 420. 420 / 7 = 60. No remainder. We have alignment.

Another piece that must align is the Course of the Priests. We know that from 1st Temple to the 2nd Temple the 24 course of the priests served in their orders and Josephus says that chain was not broken. We know that the first course was present serving during the temple destruction both times. We also know the 8th course was present on the Day of Atonement being served by Zacharias when he was given the instructions that Elizabeth would conceive a child. All of these have to line up with the years.
Therefore, you don't just have to have the Chronologies line up, but you have to have the Sabbatical years line up, the Jubilees line up, the 24 Courses of the Priests must line up. My Timeline does that.

We have to remember that the week is referencing 6000 years of rule for man. (Epistle of Barnabas).
We have Peter saying that a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day.
But we have Jubilees and in them while there are 6000 years, the time is 5880 years for that time because every 50th is also the 1st year in the next cycle. So a Day is the "Week" of time is 980 years (980 * 6) = 5880 years.
Now Adam when He sinned was to die in the day that he sinned of which he did as he died at 930 years. He couldn't die at 931 years or more because then he would have entered the cycle of the Jubilee that ends at the next day of the "Week" of time. Therefore, he died one jubilee short of the 980 years (980 - 1 jubilee = 930 years).

Entirely false. Superstition and tradition donāt trump what actually happened. Even if you really really want it to.
We have to remember that the week is referencing 6000 years of rule for man.
Good grief. We really donāt. Itās a myth. Itās a culturally significant myth. But it is not an accurate description of human history.

Another observation in the translations of the VAT:
N/W:
9. Saturn opposite the southern Fish of the Zodiac. Mercury, which had set heliacally, was not visible. On the night of the 1st, a violent (?) storm from the south-east. On the 1st, the whole day [ ... ].
A/H:
9: Saturn was in front of the Swallow; Mercury, which had set, was not visible. Night of the 1st, gusty stormfrom east and south. The 1st, all day [ .... ]
This is a section where N/W is leading us a bit. In the A/H is more accurate to the transliteration. There is no heliacal reference in the transliteration.
The fact that Mercury is mentioned here is likely because it is in the observation of the moon at this time. The moon is observed on the horizon in the west. At that time in -511, Mercury would have just set.

Notice how he picks and chooses the bits he likes from the different translations. (Thereās also no reference to Piscis Austrinus in the transliteration, but who cares, right? š¤¦āāļøš¤£)

I have Isaac born in 1910 BC. Which is year 1980 of creation (Book of Jubilees) This is 430 years before the Exodus (book of Jubilees) I have him at 30 years old when he is offered for sacrifice or 400 years before the Exodus (Based on Book of Jubilees and Acts 13). I have the capture of the lands and dividing at 50 years after the Exodus (Acts 13).

Nope. Isaac is more of a legendary character rather than an actual historical person. Aside from that, dating biblical characters prior to the exodus depends on how the ā430 years in Egyptā is interpreted (though both interpretations are internally contradictory). Neither places Isaacās birth in 1910 BCE.
